"You WOU id he exceptionally proud of the men and women of CIA, if you were able to see what they are doing on a daily
basis around the world," D/CIAJohn Brennan said to more than 200 Agency retirees on 29 September in the
Headquarters auditorium. The retirees and spouses were attending the second annual Annuitant Reunion. Officers who
retired prior to 1989, in odd years between 1989 and 2013, in 1994 or 2004 attended.
Director Brennan said he was honored to be with the annuitants and noted that he had worked for many of them. "Some of
you gave me twos on my PARs," he joked.
The DICIA talked about the Agency Ethos, the Strategic e review of the Agency's organization. He told the
attendees about his strong bond with Director of National Inteligence James Clapper his -foxhole buddy" who protects
Agency equities and suppoits CIA in its relationship with Congress. He reinforced to tne retirees his confidence in
Agency officers: "Inc people who populate the Intelligence Community agencies take seriously their obligations to make
sure they carry OW their duties in accordance of the law to the best of their abilities."
After his remarks, DICIA Brennan took questions from the audience, including one on the ri
of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant and another on the congressional oversight
committees. The annuitants also received briefings from the Counterintelligence Center,
Publications Review Board, the Office of Public Affairs, and the Office of Corporate Strategy,
Policy, and Integration.
Following the session in the Headquarters auditorium, the retirees attended a reception in tne
lobby of the Original Headquarters Building. Many attendees who worked together shared
stories, while others met and reminisced with senior Agency leaders, including Deputy
Director Avril Haines and
